24/7 support, live connection, for served veterans, their families and friends
You’re not alone – the Veterans Crisis Line is here for you. You don’t have to be enrolled in VA benefits or health care to call.
Returning veterans often suffer from depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or other mental health concerns after a tour of duty. Aside from thanking them for their service, we can help returning veterans with their own or their peer’s mental health concerns.
